What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Sinn 836

Owners widely report the Sinn 836's 43mm case is large, though its thinness is noted as a mitigating factor for wearability. Legibility is described as uniform across the dial. On balance, owners find the Sinn 836 to be a well-regarded watch for its legibility and comfortable thin profile, though some note its substantial diameter.

From video reviewers

The Sinn 836's TEGIMENT Technology steel case offers high-quality level and scratch-resistance. The watch's operation is also appreciated, with one reviewer noting it's "especially nice" with the ETA 2892-A2 caliber movement. A notable trade-off is the lack of specific details about the watch's performance or features beyond its basics.

Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1

The Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1 is praised for its fashionable and distinctive military-inspired design, featuring a champagne dial and a polished and brushed case with a ceramic bezel insert. Owners appreciate its utilitarian aesthetic and historical connection. One owner notes the bezel can be slippery. The watch is powered by a Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement. The price point of $1700 is considered high by one reviewer. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1 appealing for its unique design and historical military roots, despite some reservations about its price and bezel grip.
